TEAS®: Test of Essential Academic Skills

The TEAS® is an assessment product of Academic Testing, Inc (ATI). The WCU School
of Nursing Undergraduate Pre-licensure program uses applicant performance on the ATI,
in addition to the ACT Residual and current collegiate grade point average, to rank
applicants to the program.

WCU administers the TEAS version VI. This is also the only version currently accepted by our Nursing Department.

COSTSThe test center administration fee at WCU is $40.00. This test center administration fee DOES NOT include the cost of the exam itself. Currently, the exam cost is $58 from ATI, but is subject to change without notice. This makes the total student cost for a regularly scheduled exam $98.00. Students will pay the $40 test center fee when they register and should be prepared
to pay for the exam by credit card when they arrive on test day. Only credit card payments are accepted. Results of TEAS test are available as soon as the exam is complete if there are
no testing irregularities to report.
